SCREENWRITING MINOR

Set the scene with a solid screenplay

Screenwriting is essential to digital storytelling. Being able to master the art of storytelling, character development, and conflict will serve as the foundation for all the moving parts that enter after a screenplay is written. Within Huntington University’s digital media arts program, you will learn how to develop your own characters that will come to life in the stories you create on the page and on screen. A screenwriting minor will bolster a major in television production, animation, and film, and also pairs nicely with any of the theatre majors.
